EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Sir Charles Cornwallis, a distinguished figure in British history. Painted by Robert Peake the Elder, this oil on panel masterpiece showcases Cornwallis adorned in an opulent fur-trimmed black cloak and a white doublet with intricate gold embroidery. His commanding presence is further accentuated by his confident posture and direct gaze towards the camera. The artist's decorative technique brings out the richness of colors, particularly the contrasting black background against which Cornwallis stands. The brown ground serves as a subtle backdrop that complements his attire perfectly. With arms crossed and sword at his side, he exudes an air of authority and power. Cornwallis' regal appearance is enhanced by his stylish neckwear and collar, adding to the overall elegance of his ensemble. The attention to detail extends even to his fur trim, which adds texture and depth to the painting. Dating back to the late sixteenth century, this portrait exemplifies English art during that period. It reflects both the fashion trends of its time as well as Cornwallis' status within society. Now preserved in a private collection, this rare print allows us to appreciate not only Sir Charles Cornwallis but also Robert Peake's skillful craftsmanship as an artist.
